The Republican Party's Duty Toward
the South.

Andrew D. White indicates his belief in
the possibility OF tho political regeneration
Of the South by saying: II have the inn
preston TINT the time has come when the
Republican party should send its strongest
and ablcst men into the South to present
to tie Southern people the advantages OF
protective tariff. They are ripe for the
discussion of that question in the South,
and ready for change Of front. Charles
Dudley Warner, who has been writing .
series of articles for the Harper publica-
tions on The development Of the South,
told me q short time since that be had
found the people down there all interested
in this question. They have seen the devel-
opment of manufactures in the North under
system Of protective tariff, and with man-
ufactures just beginning to spring up in
their territory are seriously inclined TO
break away from the old traditions and
stand up for the protective tariff policy.
There 10 more than possibility thet ssv.
eral Of the southern States can b brought
away from tho Eelid south on this quss-
ton. Our public men il the North are not
at al agreed on this question oy aenGui1s
about It. In talking With Senator Hleccck
about the subject to-day, / found that ~
had doubts whether anything cail Is dons
in this direction; but Il, the evidences TIL

The Labor Party and the Democracy.

Grover Cleveland for President carried
the State OF New York in 1884 by plu-
rality OF LOTT on total vote of LIN ,312,
and Oh lnge Of one vote in each thousand
cast would have caused him TO lose New
York and the Presidency. David B. Hill.
Democrat, was elected Governor in 1885
by plurality OF II. 134 in total Of ], ,026,-
239. In 1856 Rufus w. Peckham, Demo-
crat, was chosen Associate Judge of the
Court of Appeals by plurality Of 7.797 in
a total voto Of 970,607. In each case the
Prohibition vote was much larger than the
plurality OF the successful candidate.
These are facts which must be borne in
mind BY any one who seeks to arrive at
any reasonable opinion - 70 the effect Of
the Labor voto on existing political par
ties. They show that tho Democratic ma
jority in this Stats 10 80 narrow that any
appreciable loss OF VOTES that did not
equally affect the Republican party would
give the State TO the latter.

RAILWAY ITEMS.

A COMPANY has been organized to build
n railroad from Winchester, KY, through
the Kentucky coal fields to the Virginia
line, where it will connect with the Norfolk
| and Western Railway.
THE following decision by the railroad
| commission is of general interest. The
case in point is: In November last stack
of hay belonging 10 Searles, of Shane,
Iowa, was burned, which b, claimed was
worth $40. The fire wis communicated by
| sparks from the engine on the Sioux City
l. Pacific road. The statute under which
| damag, were claimed is section 1889 of
the code: and provided further
| that any corporation operating railway
shall be liable for all damages by fire that
is set or caused by operating any such rail-
way, and such damage may be recovered
by the party damaged in the SAM manner
as set forth in this section in regard to
stock except to double damages" The
commission hold that the statute has the
effect to change the rule of the burden of
proof from the plaintiff to the defendant,
! and render the injury prina facia proof Of
negligence on the companys part. The
doctrine laid down in the decision of the
| supreme court seems to be that the railway
they have used reasonable precautions to
prevent sending out sparks, and having
used this precaution are not liable for
fire communicated outside of the right-of-
way. Therefore, the commission held that
the decision of the court would prevent re.
covering in this case.
GEN. BUTLER made an argument before
the Interstate commerce commission lately
in behalf of the Burton Car Company,
which has filed complaints for improper
discrimination against the Burlington and
other Western railways.
THE wreck OF Missouri Pacific freight
train at Sedalia caused loss to the rail-
way company of $4,000.
REPORT apparently well founded is in
circulation TO the effect that Vice President
Potter, of the Union Pacific, contemplates
shortening the running time between Oma-
ha and Portland, Oregon, by twenty four
hours, which would practically shorten the
transcontinental trip one day, and proba-
bly, draw great deal of traffic from the
Northern Pacific and Santa Fe roads. At
present the Omaha express, leaving Omaha
Sunday at 1920 p. m. does not reach Port
land until Thursday at 7:15 p. M, TINS
requiring eighty-s;x hours, more or less,
to perform the journey Of 1923 miles.
The importance of curtailing this tedious
ride across the continent will readily re-
ceived, and will soothe the spirits of those
who have been vainly antic patipg the So
called Asiatic express.

III Tuttle is a representative Iowa man,
Missouri sent ten times as many soldiers
into the Union armies in 1SGl-'65 as Iowa
would now should any trouble arise. Mis-
souri, had its rebels in the late war, but it
will be seen from the above figures that it
was by $4,000 men more of Union State
than Iowa was"
Tho st. Louis Rcpubiican, the organ Of
Missouri rebels during the war and since,
has paragraph of the same tenor. Even
the keokuk Constitution Of this State rc-
echoes the SANDER Of its own State. in
favor of the rebellious States of kentucky
and Missouri. Let us look at the figures
| OF the Herald in its Democratic indictment
of this State. We presume it makes all it's
figures on n three-year basis Of service.
Iowa sent all told about eighty thousand
men into the Union army. Figured on q
three-year basis il had the number that the
Herald gives it. In making its Democratic
parade, and showing its Copperhead hatred
of Union soldiers and the States that stand
by Union soldiers, it has the impudence to
assert that Iowa has no reason to question
the loyalty of Kentucky and Missouri, be-
cause lthey sent more men 10 the Union
army than it did. This is rank dishonesty
on the face Of it, in the body of it, and all
around it. At the outbreak Of the war Iowa
was State only fifteen years old. 1t was
| admitted to the Union as late as Dec. 20,
1916. Kentucky was admitted in June of
1872; Missouri in August Of 1921. Accord
ing to the Federal census Iowa then had
but GA ,913 populations: Kentucky 1,115.-
6S4 populations; Missouri l,162, ,Ol2 popu-
lation. But this paper Of rank dishonesty
at Chicago, with an ill-concealed hatred
both OF the loyal soldiers and the loyal
States, assumes TO put this young State OF
small population in comparison with the
old States OF large population. Nothing
but man who was n Copperhead or .
rebel during the war, with the sentiment
that actuated him thon still lingering in his
breast. could resort to such defamation of
loyal State ard its soldiers.

This calculation is, Of course, based on
the assumption that the NOV ement is con.
fined to New York City; but it is no longer
thus confined. The United Labor party
now has complete organization in every
district in Brooklyn, which has also been q
Democratic city, and the probability is
that 1t will draw from both the old polit-
ical organizations in proportions similar 10
those shown in this city, thus increasing
the disaster Of the Democratic party.
The last election placed the Labor party
third in the race and left it facing tho
Democratic party rs its only real antagonist.
The new party with but an irnpromptu or
ganization, and believed by all outside its
own ranks to be doomed to inevitable de-
feat, polled over 68, 900 votes in 1856. II

is every reason to believe that it will sweep

Democrats is at an end. If the Labor
party carries New York City this year and
the Democratic party loses the State, the

AT the last session Of Congress an

was, Of course, TO relieve the pressure
upon the United Stat $ courts-a pres.
sure which seems TO grow with every

complaint that the act tsnds indirect

Gas s creditors have to fall back upon

their varying procedure. This course,
however, involves u great amount OF
discouraging trouble and expense
which business men naturally wish TO
avoid, and, in consequence, a profita-
bic class OF dealings between different
classes is being diminished.
